Spy Fans Are Raving About John Crane!
"John Crane is a different sort of hero. He doesn't have a dark past or a darkened cynical soul. He's just a guy who's highly trained to deal with people trying to kill him, and looking to do some good in the world with his talents."
"A great story line of foreign intrigue and action. John Crane is molded out of the James Bond genre but a bit more devilish. Looking forward to reading subsequent adventures."
"Not since the likes of Ian Fleming and John D. MacDonald have I enjoyed a writer so much. I have only one suggestion... please write more books!"
"If you enjoy reading about spies with special talents, gorgeous women, different countries, and fighting ruthless kingpins and their stooges, then this book is for you."
About the author
Growing up in rural Virginia, Mark Parragh seized on stories—spy stories in particular—to escape the isolation and monotony of real life. He grew up with a deep love for old James Bond movies and Mission Impossible reruns and survived on a cache of forgotten paperbacks he discovered in the attic. He devoured books by authors like Alistair MacLean, Eric Ambler, and Robert Ludlum when he was clearly too young and impressionable to be reading such things.
As an adult, he has worked as a media and trade journalist, as a technical writer, and as a story editor in the film industry. He is the author of the John Crane series and the standalone adventure Rumrunners. He lives in Virginia with his family.
